I got this dress at Car Free Day on Commercial Drive a couple weeks ago. It’s a bit longer than my other dresses and stops right at my knees. Which is kind of weird, because it feels like it should be right above or right below. Like either cover my knees or don’t. It’s probably meant to be a full length dress on a short girl. I tried it on over my own dress at at Car Free Day. There was a mirror, but it was kind of low down, so I crouched down on the street to see how it looked. I paired it with my favourite blue sweater from Forever 21. My necklace is from Payless and my earrings are from a vendor at Greek Day. I wish they’d had the earrings in the same blue as my necklace. They are a bit heavy, but I don’t care because I love them. They were similar enough to my necklace that I thought they would go together. I’m constantly wearing mismatched sets, and pairing gold jewellery with silver jewellery. But I like it that way. My blue bracelet is from Sears and my green ring is from Boca Raton Designs at Greek Day. I wanted a blue one, but the blue ring they had was even smaller than this and wouldn’t have even fit on my finger, let alone been too tight. The little bit of what’s left of my chipped nail polish matches my outfit. I’m wearing another pair of new shoes today as well, but again, you can’t see them.

I’m all pretty in pink today. Is it too much? Well if it is, I don’t care. I got this dress at Car Free Day on Denman Street a couple weekends ago. They had it in other colours, but the pink one was the most vibrant and just felt right for summer. The purple tank top I’m wearing under it is from Smart Set. My pink sweater is from the Plenty warehouse sale at the Vancouver Convention Centre on Easter weekend. I know it’s hot, but when I’m in the office, the temperature is more regulated so I don’t really notice the heat or humidity until I go outside. Maybe I should just leave a sweater in my office, since I don’t really need one when I’m outside before or after work.

I’ve been buying a lot of fancy jewellery lately. I got this necklace at Greek Day on Broadway yesterday. I have a similar one in blue that I got from Payless and I got complimented on it, so I thought I’d buy another necklace in that style. I bought a pair of matching earrings as well, but they are kind of heavy so I didn’t wear them. I knew they were heavy when I bought them, but I really wanted a matching set. Maybe next time, I will just wear them briefly for photos and then take them off. Instead, I decided to wear my pink flip flop earrings which are more lightweight. I got my shiny bracelet from Car Free Day on Main Street a couple weekends ago. I somehow didn’t have a pink or purple bracelet to pair with this outfit. We’ll have to change that soon.

I love this purple ring that I got at Greek Day yesterday. But it’s kind of tight. I didn’t realize until afterwards how tight it is. And I got a second ring in this size too. The guy selling them told me it would be okay because my fingers would be less swelled up in the morning when I put on the ring. But contrary to that, I felt like my fingers were actually more swelled up this morning and the ring felt even tighter. I tried on the ring on my left hand just to see the difference, and my ring finger on that hand is somehow fatter. I couldn’t even get the ring off, so I concluded that I must be married to myself now. I managed to remove it using some lotion. Is it possible to lose weight in your finger? Is that a thing? Maybe tight rings are like a corset for your finger? I don’t want to hurt myself though. But I feel like my finger fluctuates in terms of swelling throughout the day, because sometimes I feel like the ring maybe fits and other times I’m like nope, this is definitely way too tight. I wonder if the guy will let me exchange them. Except he doesn’t have a physical store and I don’t know what event he’ll be at next. What a fail. Maybe I’ll have to find someone who has a more slender finger than I do and bestow a lovely gift upon them. Or sell it because I paid good money for it. And also find someone who likes heavy earrings. Or just keep everything and suffer through the discomfort because beauty is pain.
